JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 12. atoms

A particle of mass \(200 \,MeV / c ^{2}\) collides with a hydrogen atom at rest. Soon after the collision the particle comes to rest, and the atom recoils and goes to its first excited state. The initial kinetic energy of the particle (in \(eV\) ) is \(\frac{ N }{4} .\) The value of \(N\) is : (Given the mass of the hydrogen atom to be \(\left.1\, GeV / c ^{2}\right)\)

  1. A \(55\)
  2. B \(65\)
  3. C \(60\)
  4. D \(51\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(51\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(m V _{0}= M V = p\) \(10.2=\frac{ p ^{2}}{2 m }-\frac{ p ^{2}}{2 M }=\frac{ p ^{2}}{2 m }\left(1-\frac{ m }{ M }\right)\) \(=\frac{ p ^{2}}{2 m }(1-0.2)\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{ p ^{2}}{2 m }= K =\frac{10.2}{0.8}\)
